This is a shout-out to all my Summoner lovers.
Let's begin talks. :D
I know it's early but who cares!
What do you guys hope to see come from this job?
Oh! Thanks to solracht for having those images I could view from work.

Arcanist
Accompanied by a familiar in battle, adepts of the art of arcanum derive their might from symbols of power born of geometric techniques hailing from across the southern seas. Held within special grimoires, these symbols lend shape to the arcanist aether, thereby allowing him to produce myriad powerful spells.
Using magicked gemstones upon which the selfsame symbols are graven, arcanists are also able to summon forth the ephemeral being Carbuncle to carry out their bidding.
Summoner
The beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan. Yet what is a god to one man is a demon to another, for the city-states of Eorzea see these beings as a grave threat to their collective survival.
In times immemorial, there lived mages who had not only the power to summon the primals, but also the means to transmute the primals' essences, thus binding them to their will. Known simply as summoners, the existence of these men and woman and their arcane art have been all but lost to the ages.

- I'm hoping we've evolved from avatar perpetuation costs.
